Sitting Asanas and other exercises which open the hips and pelvis are very beneficial, an preparation the body for giving birth.

Bakcward bending Asanas should not be performed while lying on the abdomen, therefore we are doing adapted Variations.

Take up a regular and easy, gentle practice, always come out of the pose if you can feel any strain or pain and relax and don’t worry about the Baby, it is well protected in the womb.

In the end of the practice, always relax in Savasana or a modified relaxations pose. The regular practice keeps you in touch with the changes of the body and the growth of the child.

Pranayama is very beneficial to nourish the baby with Prana and induce a relaxed and calm mind.

It helps to handle the changes in the body and mind, and to create a good surrounding for mother and child. Fear of deliver can be overcome, because yoga for pregnancy helps to surrender to life and see the beauty in every moment.

For the later month, where the Abdomen is growing, you can follow modified variations of the Child Pose- practice (Adha Muka Virasana and create Space for the abdomen) and Crocodile Pose (1 knee and hips bent (95 degree), elbows bent, hands besides the body.

Especially for the last few month, relaxation and rest are very important. It can be difficult to find a comfortable posture. The Adha Mukha Virasana gives a good relaxation, slight back bend and open the pelvic area, it helps to support the abdomen and makes breathing easier.

In the later month you may have to modify some poses, particular the backward bends which are performed on the Abdomen.

Practice your Backward bends in a standing pose with the hands on the hips, pushing the hips forward and gently arching the back.

The forward bending can be performed with separate legs.

Exercises:

Avoid to do double leg raises, but keep practising the single leg raises, eventually perform these exercises with bent knees if required.

Additionally it is good to practice pregnancy sit ups, which will strengthen the abdominal muscles and doesn’t put much pressure or strain. Lie flat on your back, knee bent, feet flat and close to the buttock, hands behind the neck.

Inhale, lift head and shoulders up and gentle twist to the left, go down as you exhale. Repeat on the other side, perform about 5 round, then relax.

Asanas:

Backward bending: skip back bends in lying pose and perform standing Cobra, Camel Pose and Moon Pose with the hands on the knees. Practice the Cats pose and tiger stretch, without bringing leg to head in later stages.

Practice especially standing and sitting poses, squatting and kneeling as is facilitates the pelvis to loosen up and open up. Butterfly, squatting, wall butterfly, wall squatting.
